Rally Hill is an unincorporated community in Boone County, Arkansas.[1] State senator Ripley B. Weaver lived in Rally Hill.[2] It was home to Rally Springs Academy in the late 19th century.[3]

Prairie Home Seminary was in Rally Hill.[4] In 1895 the Arkansas legislature passed a bill prohibiting the sale or giving away of "ancient spirits" within 3 miles of Rally Hill Academy and the governor signed it.[5] The bill was introduced by Senator Weaver.[6] Senator Hudgins of Boone County moved the bill forward for its third reading, the spirits were referred to as ardent. A vote was recorded on the bill.[7]

During the Civil War the Skirmish at Rolling Prairie took place near the Rolling Hills Chirch. It is commemorated by a historical marker.[4]

There is a Rally Hill Church and Rally Hill Road.

J. W. Blankenship edited the Rally Hill Journal of Education, a "school paper".[8]

An 1890 history of Arkansas includes a map showing its location in southeast Boone County.[9] Rally Hill is on an 1891 geologic map of the area around Yellville, Arkansas.[10] J. H. Jones served as postmaster in 1872.[11] In 1894 the Geological Survey documented the height of its post office.[12]

The North Arkansas Railroad passed by near it.[13]

The Boone County Heritage Museum has a photo of Rally Hill Academy.[14]
